Dear Friends & Neighbors, Happy Valentines Day from EPBN! And what better way to celebrate a holiday with love as its theme than by doing something everyone loves?

For 1963 Wharton graduate Robert Aresty, the University’s decision to strip Steve Wynn of his honorary title and spot on campus is a deeply misguided one.

Supporters of the decision also drew connections between Wynn and a Penn graduate five years younger, Donald Trump. President Trump, a 1968 Wharton graduate, has also been accused of sexual misconduct. Wynn became the Republican National Committee Finance Chairman after Trump’s election.

Penn revoked Steve Wynn's honorary degree and removed his name from campus, as well as a scholarship on Feb. 1, eliciting fierce debate and widespread difference of opinions among members of his graduating class. Penn's decision came several days after Wynn's resignation as the RNC finance chair, and five days before his as resignation of CEO of Wynn resorts.
